The setting and turn-based combat is pure gravy for me and I was delighted when the game was announced - however, I’m tempering my expectations until it comes out.
As it’s a passion project for Brenda Romero, I certainly hope she pulls it off and it made me more interested, but am mindful of Omertà, which had some good concepts but the elements of strategy and the squad combat were poorly executed. From what I’ve seen in the videos, like the tutorial, not sure about the idea of wandering about the world real-time - also, not really keen on the the avatar element.
You mean XCOM Declassified the Bureau?
I think that was more sci-fi 50s
60s - and a third-person shooter..
Also, it was a hugely troubled production and the game’s concept to chopped and changed - e.g. at one point, it was being made s a first-person stealth game - whereas, EoS should be very much the vision of Romero.
